Sura Al-A'raf from 156 to 159


156. « And ordain for us good in this world, and in the Hereafter. Certainly we have turned unto You. » He said: ( As to ) My punishment I afflict therewith whom I will and My Mercy embraces all things. That ( Mercy ) I shall ordain for those who are the Muttaqûn ( the pious - See V.2:2 ) , and give Zakât; and those who believe in Our Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs and revelations, etc. ) ;
157. Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write ( i.e. Muhammad ( saas ) ) whom they find written with them in the Taurât ( Torah ) ( Deut, xviii 15 ) and the Injeel ( Gospel ) ( John xiv, 16 ) [ 1 ] , - he commands them for Al- Ma‘rûf ( i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained ) ; and forbids them from Al- Munkar ( i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islâm has forbidden ) ; he allows them as lawful At- Tayyibât ( i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods ) , and prohibits them as unlawful Al- Khabâ’ith ( i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods ) , he releases them from their heavy burdens ( of Allâh’s Covenant with the children of Israel ) , and from the fetters ( bindings ) that were upon them. So those who believe in him ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) , honour him, help him, and follow the light ( the Qur’ân ) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful [ 2 ] .
158. Say ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) : « O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allâh - to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Lâ ilâha illa Huwa ( none has the right to be worshipped but He ) . It is He Who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) , the Prophet who can neither read nor write ( i.e. Muhammad ( saas ) ) , who believes in Allâh and His Words [ ( this Qur’ân ) , the Taurât ( Torah ) and the Injeel ( Gospel ) and also Allâh’s Word: » Be! « - and he was, i.e. ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) son of Maryam ( Mary ) , ( as ) ] , and follow him so that you may be guided. [ 3 ] »
159. And of the people of Mûsâ ( Moses ) there is a community who lead ( the men ) with truth and establish justice therewith ( i.e. judge among men with truth and justice ) .

[1] (V.7:157) There exists in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), even after the original text has been distorted, clear prophecies indicating the coming of Prophet Muhammad (saas) , e.g. Deut. 18: 18,21:21; Psl. 118:22-23; Isa. 42: 1-13; Hab.3:3-4; Matt. 21:42-43; Jn.14: 12-17, 26-28, 16: 7-14.

[2] (V.7:157):
A ) « O you who have been given the Scripture ( Jews and Christians ) ! Believe in what We have revealed ( to Muhammad ( saas ) ) confirming what is ( already ) with you, before We efface faces [ by making them ( faces ) like the backs of the necks; without nose, mouth and eyes ] , and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath - breakers. And the Commandment of Allâh is always executed. » ( V.4:47 ) .
B ) See ( V.57:28 ) , and its footnote.
